Picture Required of Constant Busson (1801-1900) by Rob Howardby Rob Howard |
Rob Howard has written a biography of Constant Busson (1801-1900), the prolific accordion builder from Paris, France, but cannot find a picture of the man himself. Can anyone help? As photography was invented in the 1850s, I thought it reasonable that Busson would have been photographed at some point, but nothing has come to light as yet. I thought the French accordion magazine and/or the National Library in Paris would have been able to help, but not so. I have pictures of Friedrich Buschmann, Paolo Soprani and Marianno Dallape, all of which will be used in the future book 'More Vintage Accordions'. Another picture I'd like is Cyril Damian (Cyrillius Demien), but he's another one I've drawn a blank on. You can't win them all!! Email Rob Howard: robaccord5@hotmail.com |
